Palin pounds pavement while McCain takes weekend off (again & again & again)
Well he is at it again. Senator McCain under the guise of regrouping back in Arizona is taking the weekend off all the while leaving Governor Palin to go out and do not only her job as the vice-President nominee of the Republican party she is also having to defend the parties choice for President, John McCain.
McCain has taken many weekends off thus far leaving one to wonder just how he is going to hold up when he has all the pressures of the western world resting on his shoulders should Americans make him the next President of the United States.
He has been under criticism for being too old to serve and here he is once again taking the weekend off from campaigning in the midst of a potential crash and burn Presidential run. It has to make some people wonder a bit and be rightly concerned about his age and health even more so. But then on the other hand should he actually prove to be not up to the job and sadly croaks while in office and while that would be sad it would actually make America the real winner by having a smart, young, vibrant, dynamic and honest to God ready to serve conservative to step into the role as President.
But understand that I in no way advocate that any harm natural or otherwise come to Senator McCain at any time. I just happen to believe that out of something so sad happening something good could also come from it.
Struggling in polls, McCain regroups in Arizona
FLAGSTAFF, Arizona (AFP) — With poll numbers slipping, Republican John McCain on Saturday struggled to inject fresh energy into his White House campaign a little over four weeks before the US presidential elections.
As the clock ticks down to November 4, McCain has yet to seize the upper hand from his Democratic rival Barack Obama and has been left trailing in the polls.
Even a gutsy debate performance by Republican VP pick Sarah Palin late Thursday, in which she performed better than expected against her Democratic rival Joseph Biden, appears to not have been enough to turn the race around.
On Thursday the McCain campaign pulled out of Michigan, effectively surrendering the midwestern state to the Democrats, to focus instead on six swing states.
And with more bad news on the economic front, McCain was to retreat to his Arizona ranch for the weekend, in a highly unusual disappearing act at the height of the campaign.
